Current value of a Delta DP-220

[iagsxr]

I've found some older threads, but nothing recent.

There's a floor model DP-220 for sale semi locally to me. Looks good in pictures, has the third slow-speed pulley. Also has what appears to be the original work light.

It's been for sale for a week or two. Guy's asking $300. I'm thinking more like $200-250.

What says the GJ?

With pulley and lamp... I think you are in the right ballpark. $300 is fine if you need a dp now.

It might also depend a bit on where you're located. Where I live, on the west coast, in an urban area, folks'll happily pay $300 for what you describe. Elsewhere, that's a bit high.

Do you want the drill press, or a great deal? Sometimes you can't get both.

As mentioned, it depends upon the area. Couple of years ago, I had difficulty getting $150 for the standard bench model without the slow speed pulley and light.

Yes, I understand the casting number on the head "DP220" has become the lingua franca for the older 14" Delta drill presses, but Delta never, ever called them by that nomenclature.

In the long run you won't remember $50 difference on the price. Is it in great condition? Is the table square to the spindle? Is there minimal runout in the spindle? If it provides accurate, trouble free performance for decades to come, then offer $250 if you want, but make sure you bring it home.
I have the benchtop 11" Delta Homecraft and its a great little machine.
